Here at UB, we know about the old adage, "It will be worth the wait"! This summer no one had access to the triple gym because it was undergoing renovations. Our players were forced to find alternate facilities in which to do their off-season workouts and play pick-up. At times that was frustrating - especially when the main gym was also not available because of camps and special events. It seemed like the weeks were dragging by once classes resumed and we still had to find an alternate space in which to do our pre-season conditioning and skills sessions.
In mid-September, the renovations were completed and the doors were opened. We walked into a brand new look to our official practice space. Thank you to Warde Manuel for his vision of creating a practice facility with the feel of the Alumni Arena! The center court is identical to the one on which we play our games. The three separate courts all have their own scoreboard and clock and new backboards and baskets. The lighting and fresh paint, the new sound system and visual center have added to this incredible state of the art facility. It was DEFINITELY worth the wait!
